Main teaching union advising its members to inform their employers that it is unsafe to return to work this week, and that schools should move to remote learning as the Government was advised by SAGE over a week ago.
The Government are making a right mess of this issue. Again. |  |

13. Attempt to cover up the fact that you've got a massive hard on for hurting those different to you by making fake appeals to politeness and civility. |
14. Rise above it by sniffing around the thread sulkily downvoting everything in sight. |  |

Zero governing from our government. I'm so angry. I get that the situation makes it impossible to please everyone but this is the point isn't it? Tough decisions, about to be made too late, again. Blame the unions if you want, will be the mantra I guess. It is an abject disgrace. We are in constant damage limitation mode... be honest ffs... and fail less abjectly. Fooking complete disgrace. |  |

This is it.
Mrs m14 is a teacher, she isn't militant at all, and would rather be in school than trying to deliver home learning.
What she is mad about though, is that it's the Saturday before the schools go back and no one has a clue what the fcuk is going on. It's an absolute shambles and it happens every single time with very single decision.
Joke. |  | | |

R4 a few days ago I think suggested that many medical corp are territorials or reservists that already work for the NHS so the numbers are negligible |  |

Unlike some I don’t see the point in repeating conversations we’ve had 100 times before. I’ll take the thinly veiled digs and rise above it this evening I think. |
Have you answered how you explain that wanting unregulated free markets and a small state don't equate to looking after the rich at the expense of the poor yet then? Because if you have I have missed it.
If you have low taxes and low investment in public services, the rich can afford whatever they need. The poor either rely on charity or go without. That is what has been happening ever since this party took control of the country. They excused it with the term "austerity" initially but just look at how readily they hand money out to their mates - and not with Covid. Brexit preparations saw a ferry company that didn't exist being awarded a big contract. This, in addition to its ineptness, is the most corrupt British Government ever.
I accept that you agree with a small state but at least be honest that it protects the rich at the expense of the poor. [Post edited 2 Jan 2021 21:05]

Lower taxes benefit poorer people as well.
State intervention is very rarely a sustainable long term solution. [Post edited 2 Jan 2021 21:11]

Please explain how lower taxes benefit those who earn too little to be taxed or live on benefits. | |

Do you think the NHS has been sustainable since the Labour Government first set it up in 1948? [Post edited 2 Jan 2021 21:16]

It benefits those in low wage jobs as they will be paying less tax. Less tax will result in a stronger economy which results in them getting yet higher wages | |

And how about answering my question? Plus please show your evidence that lower taxation boosts the economy.
To remind you - how does lower taxation benefit those who do not earn enough to pay tax and those who are on benefits? [Post edited 2 Jan 2021 21:20]

Good question. It’s been made to be sustainable, would there be a more efficient alternative? Probably | |

I have answered your question. If you think I’m going to spend my Saturday evening digging out links on economic theory for you then you are very much mistaken. Just google it. | |

I can’t imagine there are many full time jobs that pay so little an individual pays no tax whatsoever. Also, consider tax is not just income tax. Everyone pays VAT, fuel duty, alcohol duty, all the other types of taxes. Bringing these down provides poorer people with more disposable income. | |

That article is about tax to the very wealthy. It’s not about lower taxation in general. | |

Maybe poor people on zero hour contracts do not work full time? Maybe some people only have part time work?
You seem to argue as if you don't believe poor people exist.
The theory that lower taxation brings trickle down benefits has been debunked. Rich people often do not spend their wealth. Poor people spend the money they are given (they generally have to), so actually increased benefits will lead to a bigger economic boost. | |

So you support higher taxation for the rich and lower taxation for lower earners? | |

No. I think taxation for the rich is at roughly the right level. I would reduce taxation for middle and lower incomes | |
